Sadly I have now killed this one, it is no more, shame I know but I needed some bits for my new project and the rest is going to my other 1977 S1 project.
I'll keep my new project under my hat for now but this one is close to my heart and needs to be ready and on the road in around 8 months.
Sadly another S2 will be killed to get this off the ground but you ill agree in the end that all this is worth while Very Happy

It will live on in other cars Very Happy

I did try to sell it on ebay twice in the past but nobody wanted it.
It was an ex collectors car and had been under wraps for years till the owner died and the collection sold off by his son, if it had been a 3.5 it would have gone.
